"The Wiener Philharmoniker (Vienna Philharmonic) is the most important orchestra in Austria and one of the more prominent in the world. In a ranking by the prestigious British monthly magazine Gramophone, the Vienna Philharmonic was named one of the five best orchestras in the world, alongside such ensembles as the Berliner Philharmoniker, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra is based in the Musikverein and its members are selected from the Vienna State Opera ensemble. The origins of the Wiener Philharmoniker can be traced back to 28 March 1842, when Otto Nicolai initiated philharmonic concerts with the orchestra of the Imperial Opera. Since 1933, the orchestra has not had a permanent conductor, but has hosted various world-famous musicians in this role." Coin minted from pure gold. It was the first bullion coin to be issued in Euro currency. It is one of the bullions most coveted by investors from around the world. This is because it represents an excellent investment of capital due to its liquidity, both when selling and buying. The Vienna Philharmonic has been produced by the Austrian Mint since 1989. The design of the coin was created using computer graphics and then transferred to gold. According to the World Gold Council, the Philharmonic was the best-selling bullion coin in the world in 1992, 1995 and 1996. The history of the Austrian Mint (Münze Österreich) dates back to the 12th century, when Austrian Prince Leopold VI demanded 15 tonnes of silver in exchange for the release of British King Richard the Lionheart. The process of melting down the ransom and minting the coins began a long-standing tradition of the Vienna Mint, which became the State Mint during the period of the newly formed Austrian Republic, just after the First World War. The company, which produces 450 million coins a year, is owned by the Central Bank of Austria, so the Austrian Mint's products have government guarantees of bullion purity. The obverse is decorated with the legendary organ of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. We can also read the value, weight, proof and year of the coin from it. The reverse depicts a number of symphonic instruments, i.e. double bass, cello, violin, bassoon, harp and Viennese horn, in an aesthetically pleasing arrangement, bearing the interesting typography of the Wiener Philharmoniker.
